ENGLAND SQUAD: Wiegman’s final 23-player squad for EUROs revealed | OneFootball

England head coach Sarina Wiegman has selected her final 23-player squad for this summer’s UEFA Women’s EURO.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official press release from The Football Association this afternoon.

The big news is that Chelsea forward Lauren James has made the squad. The player has been struggling with a hamstring problem but she is expected to be fit for the EUROs. There are also places for Arsenal pair Lotte Wubben-Moy and Michelle Agyemang, however, Brighton & Hove Albion forward Nikita Parris misses out.

It has been reported that Sophie Baggaley (Brighton & Hove Albion), Laura Blindkilde Brown (Manchester City), Missy Bo Kearns (Aston Villa) and Lucy Parker (Aston Villa) will all be on standby and will work with the squad in the final weeks before the tournament.

Mary Earps and Fran Kirby both announced their international retirements before the tournament while defender Millie Bright ruled herself out of selection on both mental and physical grounds.

Speaking after her UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 squad was announced, England head coach Sarina Wiegman said “I know this is an exciting day, for the players and also for our fans and it underlines that the tournament is coming soon. Telling the players they have made the squad is always a great moment. They will all give everything to help us make the country proud. This group is a very well-balanced mix of players with multiple tournaments on their CVs and also those that will make their tournament debuts. I am excited to see what we are capable of this summer.

“At the same time, I do feel for those that have just missed out. I can only name 23 but there are more players who have been so important to us on our journey to Switzerland. We would not be here without them.

“As we look forward, we still have a month to go until we play the first game. After some important rest, we will all be working really hard to make sure we are ready to go on 5 July.”

England kick-off their UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 campaign against France in Zurich on Saturday 5 July 2025. They will remain in the city to face The Netherlands on Wednesday 9 July 2025 before concluding the group stage with a game against Wales in St. Gallen on Sunday 13 July 2025.
